He was underage and the frat brothers provided the alcohol. Because of that, they are on the hook for what happened.
Older folks can definitely benefit from one floor living. Older drunks even more so.BAN. STAIRS.
Why not just have fire poles ? Can double as stripper poles.Or put these in frats:
And let's be honest, if Piazza went to the party and refused to go through the Gauntlet, does anyone think that would have been acceptable to the frat? Hell no. That's the essence of the hazing law. Saying that the pledges were not forced to drink is absolutely ridiculous.
Apparently, this could help our basketball recruiting too.Who are you, Rick Pitino?
Any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student.
Some of these the excuses ITT are amazing. Not surpring, but amazing.
But that didn't happen. He did go to the party, knowing that there was going to be drinking, and he did participate. What would have happened if he refused to drink? Not sure, but I'm also not sure that the frat wouldn't have accommodated him in some way--perhaps he would have been doing quite a few pushups.
The drinking event was allegedly part of the initiation of underage pledges. I understand the culture of college where that is accepted and commonplace, but how is that okay in the eyes of the law? If you willingly provide alcohol to minors and something bad happens, you are responsible. It doesn't matter if you "forced" them to drink or not (and I would argue that this is forcing them to drink).
People have been changed and convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of minors that they provided alcohol for.
That's a little different than what you said before. BTW, Tim piazza wasn't a minor. In the eyes of the law, he was a grown-ass adult.
Piazza was under 21 - so the frat providing him with alcohol underage would be analogous, regardless of whether or not he was over 18. "Minor" in the alcohol context typically refers to anyone under the legal drinking age.
Did I say it can't happen? It has happened at other places but that doesn't mean Penn State coaches are hazing players every day according to PA law. There are protocol that Penn State coaches and medical staff follow to prevent it. The original post was imply Penn State training is hazing. Unless he is aware of something more then just physical training it is not hazing according to PA law.
Generally, adults are responsible for their voluntary decisions, but minors may not be. Putting aside issues of coercion, an adult who decides to drink should be responsible for his decision, just like someone who takes illegal drugs is responsible.
A video that the prosecution has edited. How is that more reliable than the testimony of Mike mcqueary? Everyone believed Mike. He's a millionaire.
We'll have to see what the forensic investigators find -whether this SPM gal and her crew made minor, conforming edits or more nefarious edits to frame her case.
She seems like a particularly bad piece of rubbish. You can bet she removed every possible exculpatory bit of video.
Like the parts where they called 911 when they should have, the parts where they didn't delete their text messages, the parts where they didn't ignore him after falling down the stairs?
I would love to know what you think they could possibly have done to excuse their actions (or lack there of).
You mean what could overcome the charges? For starters, evidence that he was tripped down the stairs, consumed alcohol on his own , or continued partying after he fell the first time.
